Speech Of Senator Lucas.

Senator Lucas, OF this county, was
one of the principal guests at the ST.
Patrick's Day anniversary banquet
of the Hibernian Society of Balti-
more. From the Suns report of the
entertainment we copy the following:
Senator Lucas replied to the toast
swift, Eloquence and Poesy." lie
said: sin the realm of poesy we
could not go amiss at starting in the
middle of the last century. We
should find that brilliant Irish wit,
Oliver Goldsmith, full of the very es-
sence of wit and poetry; he who in
Fleet street found such companions
as Hogarth and Burke. Then we find
Richard Sheridan. and coming down
the stream Thomas Moore. the Irish
Anacreon, the national poet. In the
department of fiction we have Lever
and Lover and Griffin, who haze given
us characters which will always live.
These contributions of Ireland to
English literature seem insignificant
when compared to her contributions
in oratory and political philosophy.
Who has written English like Burke !?
And we have such men rs Grattan fol-
flowing upon his heels, Rush. O'Con-
nell, PIunkett--these Irish tongues
have spoken constitutional language
devoted to liberty. But we cannot
overlook Mr.. Lecky. the Irish Ma
cauIey. The first monument of his
fame was his book on the leaders of
Irish opinion. But his war on Irish
nationality has done much to remove
the Irish heart from an appreciation
of his ability in literature. He did
not measure O'Connell properly. L
am prepared to say that no man but
Demosthenes has ever rivaIed him.
He was the discoverer of the idea of
peaceful agitation, by which the pop
u1ace by patience should be made to
rival the Impotence of the judicial
tribunals. Although England did
prohibit the teaching of the Irish Ian
guage. Erin learned that tongue. and
used it in poetry and fiction, which
are brought to mind on this day of
days-the day of the patron saint of
oEdIreland. :" [Applause.

Governor Wilson Expresses
Some Views.

Especial dispatch 20 tie Cincinnati Enquirer
CHARLESTON, w VA, March TO-
When dropped in on Governor E.
W.Wilson today he was entertaining
some OF, his Democratic friends from
over in the eastern part of the State,
from the vicinity of Harper's Ferry,
which is the Governors native place.
The theme of their conversation
was the late Senatorial contest, and
one of them, handsome young fell
low from Jefferson county, said to
me
:. The kickers, as they are called,
won this fight, just as I told you they
would, and just as you printed it in
the Enquirer at the time
"But will it stay won?" Inquired.
+" OF course it will, and the victory
will grow as it gains in age. There
is no faetional fight in the party, as
that term is generally understood.
We are simply destroying the power
of corporate monopolies to exercise a
dominant control in the Democratic
party. They care nothing for party
politics. They only seek to use both
parties to promote their own selfish
ends. We are determed here in
West Virginia that they shall not con-
troll the Democratic organization,
whatever they may do with the Re-
publican party. and we think we have
about succeeded in emancipating the
Democracy.
" You have called the Legislature
in extraordinary session." l said to
Governor Wilson.
+" Yes, it will convene on the goth
day of April"
% What kind of Legislative sessions
do you have in West Virginia?'
" Biennial. limited to forty-fire
days. At the end of the regular ses-
sion the Legislature. by two-thirds
vote of both houses, may extend the
time Three-fifths of the members of
both houses may convene themselves
in extra session by signing petition
to that effect. and the Governor him
self may call an extra session. A
great deal of necessary legislation
was left unfinished, I have called an
extra session."
/" How long do you expect it to
continue?'
F." Four DAVIS would he ampl" time
for it to perform work that will come
before it. There is certainly no rea-
son why it should extend beyond =
week"
@ Will the question of elccting a
Senator come I'M ut the extra session ~
I" No, sir; the constitution forbids
it."
i" How forhids it?''
"Section Z. article z. of the cnn-
stitution provides: The Governor
may, on extraordinary occasions. CON-
vene. at his own instance. the tcgis-
Iaturc: hut when so convened it shall
enter upon no business except that
stated in the proclamation by which
it was called together 1t can con-
slider only the eleven subjects set
forth in the proclamation.
" And the election Of . Senator is
not one of them?''
" No, sir; that is not matter OF
legislation at all. 1t is duty to be
performed in the manner prescribed

correspondent says:
Congressman Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia, was at the Gilsey House to-day,
and told reporter that he did not
think his State would go Republican
next year. 81 admit" he said,
..thatsince 18s0the Republicans have
gained in the State. These gains are
caused by. foreigners moving into the
mining districts. They all vote the
Republican ticket, but the Democrats
carried the State in 1884 by 5000,
when the Republicans declared that
they would have a majority, and when
the tug of war comes at national
election the Democrats win. The
Senatorial contest, which resulted in
the appointment of Mr.. Lucas as Sen
ator, of course, has caused some dis
agreement among the Democrats: but
I do not think it will split the party"
